What A House, Incredible Views & Huge Potential!
Owners Comments...
We have absolutely loved living at Carosal House; from the moment we first laid eyes on it, we knew it was the one for us. After our viewing, all we could think about were the incredible views, the characterful wooden door, and the bright landing with that stunning window overlooking the front fields.
Since moving in, we’ve welcomed two children, and it has been the most wonderful family home. The bedrooms are a fantastic size, and the kitchen pantry-one of our favourite parts of the house-is perfect for staying organised and fully stocked!
The garage is far larger than your average double garage. While we’ve loved using it for practical storage, it has so much potential to be transformed into a creative space, gym, or workshop.
The views here are genuinely magical. Every year, we watch the farmer plant crops, and it’s fascinating to sit in the garden and watch the machinery at work.
When the fields clear, the wildlife arrives; deer, pheasants, and rabbits frequently roam the landscape. Currently, a family of three deer visits the front fields early most mornings.
The garden is a true sun-trap. The front of the house catches the morning light, the sun sets beautifully over the back fields, and the rear corner enjoys sunshine all day long.
Location-wise, you truly get the best of both worlds. You are wrapped in countryside with great dog walks on your doorstep, yet every shop you need is a mere five-minute drive away, alongside handy transport links like the Park & Ride.
Above all, our neighbours have been the absolute best we could have ever asked for, and we will miss them dearly.

The views from the back of this home are absolutely incredible!
Set on a superb, big plot and backing directly onto a working farm, this four-bedroom detached home has some seriously impressive views and bags of potential. There is also massive scope to extend (STPP), so there’s plenty of room to make this already fantastic home even bigger.
The house itself has been stripped right back and completely redone, with the exception of just one room. Pretty much everything has had a refresh, including all-new electrics, a brand-new slate roof, and the heating has been completely upgraded from oil to fully connected gas, with a new boiler and Megaflo heating system.
And honestly, the inside is amazing. The bathrooms are stunning, the brand-new en-suite is a real bonus, and all four bedrooms are proper doubles. There is loads of natural light throughout, helped by those beautiful sash windows.
Outside, there’s a huge garage, a long driveway, and that fantastic big plot with those views that are going to be hard to beat.
A beautifully renovated home, a brilliant plot, incredible views and plenty of potential to extend.
Area Comments...
Perfectly positioned in Great Lea, this property offers the best of both world, a peaceful countryside setting with fantastic open views, while still being within easy reach of everyday amenities and excellent transport links. With the property backing onto a working farm, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the surrounding countryside, with scenic walks and green space right on your doorstep.
For everyday essentials, nearby Three Mile Cross, Shinfield and Spencers Wood offer a good selection of local shops, pubs and amenities, while Reading is just a short drive away for a much wider choice of shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
For commuters, the location is particularly well placed, with straightforward access to the A33 and M4, making journeys towards Reading, Basingstoke and London convenient. Green Park Business Park and Green Park Station are also within easy reach, offering further employment and rail connections.
It’s a brilliant location for anyone looking for a home that combines peaceful countryside surroundings and incredible views with excellent access to local amenities and major transport routes.
